Vacation Friends

Straight-laced Marcus and Emily (Lil Rel Howery, Yvonne Orji) are befriended by wild, thrill-seeking partiers Ron and Kyla (John Cena, Meredith Hagner) at a resort in Mexico. Living in the moment, the usually level-headed couple lets loose to enjoy a week of uninhibited fun and debauchery with their new “vacation friends.” Months after their walk on the wild side, Marcus and Emily are horrified when Ron and Kyla show up uninvited at their wedding, creating chaos and proving that what happens on vacation, doesn’t necessarily stay on vacation. Rated: RRelease Date: Aug 27, 2021

The Friends Cast’s Best Post-Friends Roles

Early on in HBO Max’s long-awaited Friends reunion special “The One Where They Get Back Together,” series co-creator David Crane reveals the producing team’s initial vision for the show.  “We were really intrigued with the idea of doing a true ensemble. It’s not like there’s a lead and they have friends. No, it’s just about the friends. We’re following all of their stories equally.” Friends would never have worked if Crane, Marta Kauffman, and Kevin Bright hadn’t gone six for six in the casting of the titular friends. One or two solid choices wouldn’t do it. Neither would four or…

Monster Hunter Rise Co-op: How to Play With Friends

Monster Hunter Rise follows in the footsteps of Monster Hunter World by offering a larger world and other modern improvements, but the game retains one of the franchise’s best features by allowing you to adventure with friends via co-op gameplay. Millions of fans agree that Monster Hunter is just better with friends, and it’s hard to argue that the game just feels best when you’ve got a full squad (which, in this case, is four players) by your side. Still, the benefits of Monster Hunter‘s co-op options don’t mean much if you’re not able to access them in the first…

Christmas TV Comedy Episodes List: Where to Stream Friends, The Office and More!

In a perfect world, TV streaming services would offer a playlist feature – imagine the joyful nerdery of shareable Top 10 episode lists. When it came time for a Christmas binge-watch while you’re wrapping gifts, or spraying pine cones silver, or gently weeping and glugging Advocaat from the bottle (whatever your festive tradition is, delete as appropriate), you could fire up hours of comedy specials without having to expend a single calorie of energy on touching the remote. Until that glorious day comes, this is your next best thing. It’s a directory of the major US and UK 1990s-2010s sitcoms’…

The Justice Friends from Dexter’s Laboratory Deserve a Revival

I’d like to think that it’s widely accepted that 1990s animation was very good to comic book superheroes. We had a genre-changing Batman: The Animated Series, the deep and socially relevant X-Men: The Animated Series, and two expanded cartoon universes that came out of each one. But there was one superhero cartoon, neither DC or Marvel, that sticks out to me for being a bit underused and well before its time. I want to take a second to talk about the Justice Friends. The original two-season run of Dexter’s Laboratory not only focused on the main misadventures of the boy…

Wynonna Earp Season 4 Episode 2 Review: Friends in Low Places

This Wynonna Earp review contains spoilers. Wynonna Earp Season 4, Episode 2 Damn, Wynonna Earp. That sex scene. In the context of the show, the Wayhaught love scene was gorgeous, sexy, and one of the most romantic scenes of the entire series so far. In the larger context of television history, it was one of the most explicit and beautiful sex scenes between two women that I have ever seen on network or basic cable TV. In many ways, Wynonna Earp follows a tried-and-true genre TV formula: a snarky-yet-sentimental narrative path laid out by shows like Buffy and Supernatural. But…

Link Tank: Actresses Who Auditioned for Friends’ Rachel Green

Jennifer Aniston played Rachel Green on Friends, but she wasn’t the studios’ first choice. Here are six actresses who auditioned for the role. “NBC’s Friends has been off the air since 2004, but that hasn’t stopped people from watching and rewatching the beloved sitcom more than 15 years later. And while it’s hard to imagine the show without the original six cast members in their iconic roles now, there were other actors up for those parts early on.” Read more at Mental Floss. Karl Urban was in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker as a stormtrooper, according to the actor…

The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: Johnny and Friends

Like The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: The Vault Series (6 DVD Set Collector's Edition), previously reviewed right here, Time-Life's The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: Johnny and Friends is a remarkable set of complete Tonight Show episodes from the Nineteen Seventies-‘90s, rather than a clip display of highlights, so entire in reality that these 28 full shows consist of all of the unique (community) commercials, that are sometimes captivating all by means of themselves. It's every other fantastic, nicely selected set, and although I've barely cracked its monstrous content material, I'm having a grand vintage time watching these shows.…
